My character was Arkdo (who I wrote about here), a Duros archeologist. He had a lot of knowledge of the Outer Rim and interesting lore. So the GM […]

Druids are knowledgeable in nature lore and other stuff and are pretty good at spotting out of place, much like rogues, who are specialists in finding traps and hidden passages, in both cases they would roll Investigation for those things. The professor archetype you mentioned probably fits only the wizard, but with some tweaks, I guess it could work with other classes too.
